7. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
     The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale.  
At April 3, 1999 and December 31, 1998, securities available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with the net unrealized holding gain or loss included 
in shareholders' equity.

8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     During the three months ended April 3, 1999, the Company issued 7,645
shares of Common Stock in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at
$2.125 per share.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT 

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging 
Activities," was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in
June 1998.  The Standard will require the Company to recognize all 
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are
not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.  If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in
fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item
is recognized in earnings.  The change in a derivative's fair value related
to the ineffective portion of a hedge, if any, will be immediately recognized
in earnings.  The Company expects to adopt this Standard as of the beginning
of its fiscal year 2000.  The effect of adopting the Standard is currently
being evaluated, but is not expected to have a material effect on the 
Company's financial position or results in operations.

ITEM 2.                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION 
                   AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
                      APRIL 3, 1999 AND APRIL 4, 1998

    Total revenues for the 1999 quarter were $920,000, a decrease of 45%
from those of first quarter 1998 which were $1.68 million.  The decrease was
due primarily to a reduction in affiliate supplies sales in the 1999 quarter 
compared to 1998. 

    The Company's gross margin was $336,000 in the first quarter 1999 versus
$750,000 in the comparable quarter in 1998.  Gross margin as a percentage of
revenue decreased from 45% in the first quarter 1998 to 37% in first quarter
1999. The decreased percentage margin in 1999 was due primarily to increased
manufacturing variances caused by increased fixed costs and lower volumes.

    Research and development expenses increased to $190,000 in the first
quarter 1999 from $179,000 in the first quarter in 1998.  The increase was
largely due to salary increases and related fringe costs.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $437,000 in the
first quarter of 1999 from $405,000 in the first quarter of 1998.  Selling
expenses increased by approximately $46,000 in the first quarter 1999 due to
increased costs associated with the field sales force established in late 
1998. General and administrative expenses were down approximately $12,000 in 
the 1999 quarter due primarily to lower accrual of executive incentive 
compensation.

    Interest, other income and income taxes were $194,000 in the 1999 quarter
compared to $200,000 in the 1998 quarter.  This decrease in interest income in
1999 is due primarily to a decrease in cash and investments of over $500,000 
from the 1998 quarter compared to the 1999 quarter.  This is largely due to 
the Company's leasing activity, combined with lower revenues and higher 
operating expenses.

    The Company's income tax expense primarily consists of minimum taxes due,
offset by the net operation loss carryforwards.

    Net loss for the first quarter of 1999 was $97,000, or $(.02) per common
share, down from net income of $366,000 or $.07 per share in 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Working capital was $14.5 million on April 3, 1999 compared to $14.7 at 
December 31, 1998.  Cash, cash equivalents and investments decreased by 
approximately $.5 million at April 3, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998.  
The decrease was primarily due to an increase in sales-type leases financed 
by the Company, lower revenues and increased operating expenses.

    As of April 3, 1999 the Company has no material commitments which would
result in a significant cash outflow other than purchases of inventory in the
normal course of business, and the financing of additional Platesetter leases.

YEAR 2000 ("Y2K")

    The Year 2000 problem is due to the past software practice of coding 
years using only two digits.  This is predicted to cause many computer-related
malfunctions because year "00" will be taken to mean year 1900 rather than 
2000.  In 1998, the Company began to investigate Y2K compliance in areas of 
its Platesetter products, business computer systems (Information Technology or
"IT"), production equipment, vendor readiness, non-IT systems, and contingency
plans.

    The Company's Y2K readiness status is:  current platesetter products are
Y2K compliant, though some RIPs produced from 1993 through 1996 may be non-
compliant; the central IT software system was certified Y2K compliant by a 
third party; equipment used in production does not use dates to control 
operations; compliance/impact assessments of the PBX, security, and alarm 
non-IT systems is in progress; statements of compliance were received from 
the RIP software vendors.  To complete readiness and remediation by mid-1999,
the Company plans to: assess and remedy compliance with personal productivity 
PCs and their applications; complete assessment of the non-IT systems; 
complete assessment of ancillary software packages sold by the Company; send 
compliance questionnaires to other significant vendors and assess results.

    The Company has spent approximately $25,000 to date on its Y2K related
activities, and estimates $50,000 to be adequate for its related 1999 
activities.  The Company does not anticipate purchasing Y2K liability 
insurance.  Because of the current state of Y2K readiness and the date 
insensitivity of its products, the Company believes the most likely 
worst-case scenario to be short term delays in receiving production 
inventory.

    The Company anticipates developing a contingency plan by mid-1999, based
on its knowledge at that time.  The Company's most-likely contingency plan 
is projected to primarily be the ordering of extra production inventory to be
received near year-end thereby averting key vendor or transport interruptions
going into 2000.

    Although the Company does not at this time expect a significant impact on
its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, our internal
Y2K review has not been completed and there can be no assurance that the 
systems of other companies or the systems of the Company will not have a 
corresponding adverse effect on the Company.
